My personal feeling is that I think the market could trade sideways for a bit.

I think we got spoiled over the last three years with double-digit gains.

I don't think we're gonna get that this year.

But I'm also not overwhelmingly bearish either.

The next few weeks are setting out to be a pretty crucial one.

We'll have to see what happens with the war with Iran and if Hormuz opens back up.

And we'll also have to see what the earnings come in at and what these executives are saying about their forecast moving forward.

We're gonna be staying on top of it.

Welcome back to the rundown interview edition.

Today, we are talking to the CFO of Circle, Jeremy Fox Gein.

Circle is the company behind USDC, one of the biggest stable coins in the world.

Jeremy's been

been CFO for about five years now, and the last 12 months have been the most important stretch in the company's history.

Circle went public last June, USDC has grown to nearly $78 billion in circulation, and stablecoins are going from a crypto niche thing to something that major banks and institutions are actually building on.

So in this conversation, we got into why stablecoin adoption is accelerating so fast, the real world use cases that are driving it, and a really interesting angle on how AI agents could be the next big wave for this technology.

I learned a lot from this conversation.

I think you guys are going to really enjoy it.
